Chu Li has already left the general's mansion. Lu Manman, as usual, accompanies the old general's wife for lunch. After noon, Qingzi will invite the best acrobatic troupe into the general's mansion. Chu Li was not afraid of the darkness, but was the best chance to take her away from the General's Mansion. It's just that Chu Li made her a little confused. He seemed to be helping her with this matter, but she couldn't figure out who he was helping.

But she knew that the person who wanted to kill her cousin outside the capital was Chu Li. She didn't have any evidence, and Chu Li didn't come forward in person, but she knew that the eagle that followed them and the man wearing the black iron mask that day belonged to Chu Li.

That man wanted to kill Lu Youran that day, which showed that Chu Li had already made a choice for the olive branch that Lu Youran threw. However, Chu Li's mind was very deep. He had that idea at the time, but maybe at this time.

Lu Manman changed her clothes and followed them with Qing Zi to practice lion dance. Lu Manman's body was really too weak, but she was panting for half a time and her lips were white. After a short rest, she started again.

She must persist, and must give those people hidden in the peach blossom forest a subconscious. In order to congratulate her grandmother on her birthday, she is studying lion dance very seriously, and has been doing lion dance every day, almost never leaving Siyan Pavilion. .

After practicing for an afternoon, Lu Manman had sore hands and sore feet. The whole body did not look like her own. After taking a hot bath, she told Qingzi to report to the old general’s wife that she practiced lion dance too much today. Tired, I ate two bites in a hurry and fell asleep, so I didn't go to eat dinner with the old general's wife.

She changed into a black dress, black dress and black hair, which made her skin more like snow, her palm-sized face was sickly white, and her thin body could blow her like a gust of wind. run. She sat quietly on the bamboo couch, embroidering her purse while thinking, she should exercise more and eat more. Otherwise, how can she fight Lu Youran with her small body.

A gust of wind blew and the windows were closed. Although it was early April, it was still a little cool at night. She was weak and couldn't stand the cold wind. Lu Manman got off the bamboo couch and got up, and just walked to the window, when the wind blew out the candle again, she felt a little strange in the darkness around her. The wind just opened the windows, but didn't blow out the candles. Now this small wind blows out the candles. In order to prevent the candles from being blown out, Qingzi puts the candles in the lampshade. Even if the wind is not small, the candles cannot be blown out.

She quickly realized that someone else had entered the room, and this person should not be far away from her.

Her eyes have gradually adapted to the darkness. Although the moon tonight is not big, she can barely see the general structure of the room. When she turned around, she saw a dark shadow in front of her. If it had been before, she would have been frightened. Seven souls lost six souls, but at this time she knew in advance that Chu Li would come tonight, and she was not so afraid.

She looked at the dark figure in front of her, and asked in a low voice, "Is it the fourth prince?"

"Um."

She was wondering. In the original book, the fourth prince Chu Li was afraid of darkness and heights. How dare he appear in front of her when it was so dark.

She asked again: "Is it really the fourth prince?"

"Miss Lu, are you leaving?"

But this voice was clearly from Chu Li, she said, "I...want to go."

As soon as her voice fell, she felt her waist tighten and her feet light, and her whole body seemed to float. She was a little scared, but she also gritted her teeth and did not make any fearful moves. He gently tapped his toes and led her through the Taolin and the General's Mansion. All these movements were done in one go, as if taking her out of the general's mansion, to him, it was just a matter of hand. He can be so proficient, and can also explain one thing. He is very familiar with the general's mansion and also very familiar with the location of those hiding in the peach forest.

Chu Li let go of Lu Manman, and she automatically moved away from him a few steps. All her movements fell into his eyes. He said with a smile but a smile: "Miss Lu was very scared just now, but she didn't show her fear at all. Miss Lu is really a hero of the female middle school."

She also smiled and said: "The fourth prince thinks too much, I am not afraid."

"If you are not afraid, Miss Lu's body was very stiff just now."

When she heard him say this, she gave him a blank look and said, "Frivolous."

"I came to take Miss Lu out of the general's mansion tonight, but Miss Lu herself asked, and now she says I'm frivolous."

Forget it, she will need Chu Li to take her into the palace later, and no longer speak to him. She said, "The fourth prince will take me into the palace soon!"

He took her into the carriage hidden outside the General's Mansion. She got on the carriage, and he drove the carriage personally. She was thinking, if it was the divine will, why could he bring her into the palace at night?

It was night at this time, and Chu Li was taking her on a road with few people. She drove the window and said, "Four princes, stop."

He raised his whip and the horse ran faster. He said, "Ms. Lu discovered that something was wrong?"

After he said it so directly, she didn't hide it anymore. She said: "Four princes, it's not that the sage wants to see me."

"It's true that it's not that the sage wants to see you, but the prince wants to see you."

His Royal Highness? Chu Ran? She met him once. He was in a wheelchair and looked like a scholar.

She said: "I am not familiar with His Royal Highness."

"Miss Lu, whether you are familiar with your Royal Highness or not, you have to enter the palace. His Royal Highness invites you into the palace because of General Yunhu's business. You must know that your cousin, General Yunhu, belongs to His Royal Highness. people."

"What's the meaning?"

"It means that General Yunhu is a rare person who supports His Royal Highness."

So, is this why Chu Li has always wanted to harm him? Since Chu Li has always wanted to harm her cousin, why did she suddenly appear at this time and do things that seem to be helping her?

Lu Manman said: "Parking, I don't want to enter the palace anymore."

"Ms. Lu, there is no temporary change in this carriage. Besides, I also promised my eldest brother to send you to the palace. If you can't enter the palace tonight, General Yunhui will be in danger."

Lu Manman's heart trembled slightly, she guessed that she was right, there was something wrong with her cousin.

Chu Li continued: "After the fifth brother was injured in Mingyuexuan in the Lu Mansion last time, although he returned to the palace, his body was fine, but after a few days passed, the fifth brother started to have a fever and developed a rash on his body. Diagnosed, the fifth brother had smallpox."

She frowned slightly. If she didn't expect it, they found the veil on the fifth prince. If the veil was stolen when Lu Youran pretended to fall on her that day, then she It's impossible to get close to the fifth prince. How did that veil get to the fifth prince? Among them, there must be someone secretly helping Lu Youran, and this person is Chu Li or Chu Huai?

Lu Manman said: "So, the fourth prince is sending me to be at the disposal of the sage and the prince?"

"It's impossible to deal with it. General Yunhu entered the palace last night. He issued a military order to his father. If he can't cure the fifth prince, he will apologize with death. The fifth brother has a bad health since he was a child. I can only get past by myself. To tell the truth, even the doctors Zhang and Liu, who are proficient in medical skills, can’t say such things. General Yunhui told a martial artist, even if he could not cure his fifth brother, he would apologize with death. Me too. Knowing that this is what he said to keep you, but some things are not manpower that can be changed. The fifth brother’s physical condition is not optimistic, I also took you into the palace to meet His Royal Highness. You Haosheng told him about the fifth brother. What's the matter with that veil."

Sure enough, things went around and went back to the veil. The reason she got smallpox was because of the veil, but the veil had been strictly disinfected, and the cousin took the veil. Qing Zi also took it. They were all fine. Why did he get into the hands of the fifth prince? Is that veil still the one that Lu Youran stole from her?

The carriage had reached the gate of the palace, Chu Li got out of the carriage, Lu Manman lifted the curtain, and she got out of the carriage too. She looked at the mighty palace wall and sneaked up when she came. Mighty and majestic, a fixed glance at this time really made her astounded.

The fifth prince suffered from smallpox. In ancient times, suffering from smallpox was like being sentenced to death. This may be the last time she looked at the Xichu Palace, the last time she looked at the palace as a free man.

She originally thought it was a conspiracy and she could not enter the palace, but at this time she felt that if the fifth prince was suffering from smallpox, if they really found the veil on the fifth prince, then she should not let him Faced by one person, she should stand with him at this moment. When she decided to marry her in that way, she had already thought about it. From then on, no matter what storms she would face, she would never back down, and would never let him face it alone.

Her shoulders are very thin, her strength is very weak, but her heart is very firm, she will definitely stand in the same camp with him.

Lu Manman said: "The four princes are really knowledgeable. We haven't met a few times before, and you know that I own the veil."

He is also accustomed to her thorny way of speaking. He said: "It's not that I am so knowledgeable, but someone saw you use this veil with their own eyes. There are too many things that I can't reveal to you. You will see later. If you have reached the prince, explain to him yourself. The fifth brother is the direct younger brother of the prince, and the father is very fond of the prince and the fifth brother. If you persuade the prince, there may be a certain turning point for things."

Her eyes glanced lightly at Chu Li. She didn't believe that he would be so kind. His purpose in bringing her to the palace was just to make her clarify the matter before going to the Prince's Palace.

She walked towards the palace with her head up, and the Yulin Army guarding the palace gate saw Chu Li here, and did not impede Lu Manman. They just asked why they entered the palace so late, and Chu Li said to see His Royal Highness. , The Yulin Army let it go.

Walking inside the vermillion walls of the palace, she felt very depressed in her heart.

It stands to reason that she was injured last time, and she was able to survive the illness so severely, and Chu Ye should be able to survive as well. Why are both Doctor Zhang and Doctor Liu helpless and still need a military order from their cousin? Could it be that she was able to heal last time, and there are hidden secrets in it that she didn't know? And this hidden situation is still related to him?

Lu Manman said: "It's good for the four princes not to be as knowledgeable, otherwise Manman thought that the four princes had arranged for someone to monitor Lu Mansion. Every day in Lu Mansion, there are people coming in and out of the Lu Mansion. What major things happen, the four princes. All know."

Chu Li's face darkened, he said: "How is this possible."

"It's fine if there is no such thing, but Manman feels weird, so I just guess."

"You sisters, one is more interesting than the other."

"Can I take the words of the four princes as compliments?"

"Take it as a compliment, you really deserve it."

The two walked to the East Palace where His Royal Highness lived. The furnishings in the East Palace were primitive and simple, and their temperament resembled Chu Ran. I was afraid that they would come here a long time ago. A court lady didn't say much, and after saluting Lu Manman and Chu Li directly, she took them to Chu Ran's study.

Chu Ran was sitting in the study and was reviewing a batch of memorials. Chu Li glanced at the memorials placed on his desk indifferently. He hid his emotions very well, and didn't have too many strange expressions.

The saint’s health is getting worse and worse. This memorial will be sent to the East Palace first, and Chu Ran will classify it, and the anxious memorials will be quickly sent to the Longyin Palace, and he will help to approve the memorials that are not in a hurry and are not important.

Lu Manman thought in his heart that the outside world was rumoring that His Royal Highness’s legs were abolished and he was unable to give birth to offspring. The Lord still retained his position as a prince, but because he was guilty of him, as long as the Lord was about to fail, he would replace the prince. , Separate Crown Prince. However, from now on, not only did the Holy Master not intend to replace him, but he was still doing his best to train him. The saint has sent all the memorials to the East Palace, which shows how much he trusts and recognizes Chu Ran.

Lu Manman bowed to Chu Ran Yingying, and said: "The courtier Lu Manman pays respects to His Royal Highness."

Chu Li also said: "The ministers pay respect to His Royal Highness."

"All get up!"

"His Royal Highness, Prince Xie."

Dressed in white, he temporarily put down the brush in his hand, raised his head, his face looked like an immortal who can't eat fireworks in the world, he said: "Lu Manman, we have seen it."

"His Royal Highness has a good memory, we did have a fate."

Chu Ran glanced at Chu Li, and Chu Li said, "His Royal Highness, the courtier has already brought Miss Lu with him, so I will leave first."

"Alright, thanks for your hard work, fourth brother."

"It's just a matter of effort."

After Chu Li retreated, the maid at the door closed the study door. She stared at the ground, and only heard the grunting sound of the wheelchair rolling closer and closer to her. His voice sounded from her side, and he said: "Lu Girl, please sit down."

He had already let her sit, and if she didn't sit, she wouldn't give him face. After sitting down, it was like sitting on pins and needles again.

She originally thought that Chu Ran had found her to come to Xingshi to inquire, but she didn't expect him to be so calm and didn't embarrass her.

"Miss Lu, it is night at this time. Although it is inconvenient for you and me to be in the same room, this matter is too serious. I have to invite Ms. Lu to ask me a few questions."

She is very puzzled, is this really the prince Chu Ran? Not only did he not have the arrogance that should have belonged to His Royal Highness, but even his speech was so approachable. Her heart hanging in the air was slowly landing.

Now she knows it. She feels that she is not too good to Qingzi and Cuiqing, but they think she is too good to them. She is the best master they have met, and can even be punished willingly for her. She is the same as them now, and she also feels that Chu Ran is very good, and she also feels that Chu Ran is the best royal person she has ever met.

In this unequal society, people are divided into three, six or nine classes. He is a monarch, she is a minister, and she is born inferior to him. But not only did he not feel that she was inferior to him, but he was also polite to her and even took care of her emotions.

He was respecting her, and his respect made her respect him.

"If your Royal Highness has any questions, just ask, Manman must know everything."

"Okay, then I just asked, Miss Lu had smallpox before?"

"Yes."

"Do you know why you suffered from smallpox? As far as I know, this smallpox has long been extinct in the capital, and Miss Lu is a lady who does not go out of the door, and how can she suffer from smallpox inexplicably?"

He didn't directly ask her about the veil, but started asking why she suffered from smallpox. It seemed that he didn't believe that she deliberately framed Chu Ye, so she didn't need to lie to him.

She said: "Actually... Manman doesn't mean that the door doesn't go out of the gate. Sometimes women will pretend to be men and go out of the city for a round."

"Eh? Miss Lu is different from the other ladies. After you go out of the Lu Mansion, have you met strange people?"

"That time I met my cousin after I went out. My cousin said to take me to a place, so I followed him out of the capital. Outside the capital, we met someone who was chasing us. The situation was critical at that time. Let me go first. After he and Xiao Wu got up, the carriage was crashed and I fainted. When I woke up, my cousin took me to hide in a cave and then returned to the capital."

"You are almost the same as what Li Zhao said, but you have missed one thing."

She squeezed her sleeves tightly. She missed one thing. She felt that it was not suitable to tell Lu Youran's things. At this moment, she said Lu Youran's things abruptly. He would not believe it was one aspect. On the other hand, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, Lu Xiaoran can't afford to lose that face.

He said: "You don't have to be nervous about the matter between you and Li Zhao. He also told me that since you are in love with concubines, when the right time is right, I will intercede with you. But the premise of all this is that you I have to pass this level safely."

Now that he has spoken to this point, she also said what she wants to know the most. She raised her head and looked at him. His expression was indifferent and he couldn't see the joy or anger. Such a talent is truly unfathomable. .

She just glanced at it, and she felt the depression behind the ordinary people. She lowered her head again and asked: "His Royal Highness, where is the cousin at this time?"

"To tell you, Li Zhao issued a military order to his father. If he can't cure his fifth brother, he will apologize with death. At this time, he is in the fifth brother's palace."

She knelt on the ground all of a sudden, and she begged him: "His Royal Highness, I want to see him, okay?"

"this……"

"His Royal Highness, maybe Man Man has a way to save the five princes, and he also asked the Prince to grant Man Man's request."

"Miss Lu, just say these things in front of me, but remember not to say in front of the father, this is a lie to the sage, but it is the crime of deceiving the emperor."

"Manman didn't lie. Manman knew a way to save the five princes. His Royal Highness should know that smallpox is a medicine without a cure, and smallpox can only survive on his own. But the world does not know that smallpox is actually a medicine. Yes, Manman once suffered from smallpox, and my blood is the medicine for smallpox. As long as my blood is compatible with the blood of the fifth prince, I believe the fifth prince will get better soon."

Chu Ran's plain expression finally had a strange expression. With a little expectation, he said, "Really?"

"Man Man dare not deceive His Royal Highness."

"Okay, I'll let you try it." Since smallpox has no medicine for medicine, why not use Sima as a living horse doctor, perhaps there is still a glimmer of life, he said loudly to the door: "Caihe."

A court lady stepped in with her head down, and she saluted Chu Ran and said, "What is the order of the Prince?"

"Caihe, take Miss Lu to the fifth brother's palace."

"Yes."

Caihe said, she raised her eyes and glanced at Lu Manman. It didn't matter if she didn't look at it. With this look, she almost saw Lu Manman drop her chin in shock. This Caihe didn't know her, she knew Caihe, and Caihe was not just a few months away. Was the maid who had eaten with the **** before? At that time, she was hiding behind the rockery, but she could see clearly, because that incident hit her too hard, so even at this time, the scene still appeared clearly in her mind.

Caihe said to her: "Miss Lu, please come with me!"

She really couldn't believe that at this time, this pitiful palace lady, who often fell into the lotus pond in Chu Ran's mouth, Caihe, who had an inexplicable relationship with Chu Ran in her guess, turned out to be Had a confrontation with an eunuch.

She was distracted, Caihe whispered in her ear again: "Miss Lu, Miss Lu."

"Uh! Well, well, let's go!"

She said goodbye to Chu Ran again, saying: "His Royal Highness, Man Man retires."

"Go!"

After leaving the East Palace, Caihe walked in front and Lu Manman followed. She looked up at Caihe's back from time to time, and she felt a strange feeling in her heart.

It was late at night, and there were few people walking in the palace apart from the patrolling Imperial Forest Army. However, Caihe's face should be quite big. When the Yulinjun saw them, he just asked them a few words.
